NEAR FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WSVN) – Authorities are investigating a serious multi-vehicle crash near Fort Lauderdale that left two people dead, several people hospitalized and forced the closure of a major intersection.

Broward Sheriff’s Office officers and Broward Sheriff Fire rescue units arrived at the scene of the three-vehicle rollover crash near Northwest 27th Avenue and Sixth Street in unincorporated Broward County around 4 p.m. Sunday.

The impact threw a light-colored Tesla and a black Dodge Durango into a nearby cemetery.

The front of the Tesla was destroyed and the windshield was blown out. The Durango suffered significant side damage.

The third vehicle involved, a sedan, overturned on the road.

BSFR officials said they transported six adult victims to Broward Health Medical Center on trauma alerts, with conditions ranging from serious to critical.

“So far I have one trauma code, two Level I traumas, one will probably be Level II. I need at least four rescue personnel now,” a first responder said in a radio transmission.

BSO investigators later confirmed the deaths of two victims, but the total number of victims was unclear until Sunday night.

Officers closed the intersection of Northwest 27th Avenue and Sixth Street and closed surrounding streets for several blocks while investigators determine the cause of the crash. They advise motorists to avoid the area and use alternate routes.

Meanwhile, rescue workers cut through a fence to access the cemetery.

As of late Sunday evening, BSO investigators were unable to provide any information on the total number of surviving victims or their current condition.
